Ukrainian applications for work permits in Poland dropped by 23% during the first half of this year

Ukrainian applications for work permits in Poland dropped by 23% during the first half of this year, compared to the same period in 2018. Through June of this year, there were 692 466 applications, down from 904,854 during the same period in 2017, according to Poland’s Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Policy. The drop is due to the EU ‘no visa’ tourist regime of June 2017. Now, Ukrainian temporary workers do not bother to apply for work permits and they feel free to look for short term work outside of Poland, Radio Poland says, citing Pavel Julaga, chairman of the migration and employment committee of the Polish-Ukrainian Economic Chamber.
